We were guests at a dog owner's home when the dog ate a foreign object that belonged to myself and my husband. The dog was rushed to the vet and the bill came out to be very high. Who is legally responsible for paying the vet bill? The incident happened on the dog owner's property. We were guests of the dog owners.
Additional information
In response to Gordon Levinson, the object was a woman's razor head, the large interchangeable Gillete Venus sort. The entire razor device was left on the floor of the shower. We accidentally left the door open to the bathroom and the dog went in and got the razor. The dog owner tried to remove the entire razor from it's mouth when the interchangeable head fell off and the dog picked up the razor head and swallowed it. We had been asked to keep the doors closed but on this occasion we had forgotten. Answers (4)

What was the object? It sounds like you have a claim against the dog owner for property damage. Alternatively, if you were negligent and left an unsafe object lying around, you may be liable for the bill. I need more facts to intelligenty answer. What was the object, and what were the circumstances that led to the dog eating it?

Most likely the dog owner is responsible for the vet bill. I don't see a set of facts where you would be legally or practically responsible for the vet bill unless you essentially fed the dog the foreign object.
